To all those who knew and loved her as well as the many others whose lives she touched, Mary-Wynne was a remarkable individual who dedicated her life to advocating for peace, health, and global unity. Her tireless efforts as a teacher, doctor, artist, musician, leader, and advocate for peace through education have left an indelible mark on our world. Now, it is our turn to honour her legacy and continue her important work.
